Help Lock screen when using Google Maps

[Tolstiymalchik]

Can anyone help with this? When using the satnav on Maps, I'd like to be able to switch off the touch-screen sensitivity, so I don't lose my destination data, etc, every time I accidentally touch the screen. Can I do this and if so, how?
PS. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Go into settings and disable lock screen

Disable it? But I want the screen to lock while I am using Maps. How does disabling it help?

You can't. Although I don't know how you could lose the data by touching the screen, unless you purposely hit stop.

At the bottom of your screen, there's a triangle, circle, and a square. Touch the square and you should see maps still running in the background. Touch it, and maps will be as it was.

I'm thinking that you want maps running, but touching the screen makes it go away. Technically it is just minimized, so touching the square will bring it back, still running as it was
